In the summer of 2021 a farm mound was excavated. The farm is a hallway farm from 19th-20th century and is thus composed of many small rooms.

Basement built of stacked stones. The basement was used as storage, possibly as a dwelling. The basement was rebuilt two, maybe three times

Pavement/Hallway of the farm. Two structures were later built using it as a foundation.

A shed was on the east side of the farm, facing the village. After the shed fell out of use rubbish was dumped in it. Because of this a lot of artefacts were recovered from this structure.

Another shed was on the south side of the farm that later was split into two sheds.
